Deep garnet color. Aromas of Blackberries, white pepper, raspberry and violets. This wine packs a punch of black and red fruit, peppery perfume finish.

Beautiful rust tinge to this old bad boy. Blueberry, baking spices and blackberry. Mellow black and blue fruit with an amazing dry finish. Library tasting.

Garnet color, blueberry, spice and leather aromas. Light to mid bodied on the palate with very light dried blackberry and spice. A little alcohol on the finish, otherwise lingering mellow earthy finish.

2010. Solid example of Santa Cruz vineyard fruit. Cherry, clove, light tannins. Thanks Jan Garrod!
